James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Romans 5:8

THE DEPTH OF GOD’S LOVE‘But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.’ Romans 5:8 It is a remarkable feature in the sorrows of Jesus, that His love maintained such a wonderful equanimity. How very few are the affections which we know of, that have continued the same! How few friendships do any of us carry all along the little journey of life! It is an easy thing to go on, and be kind, when we are happy! Every man can be amiable, when all... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 5:1-11

The Direct Consequence Of Our Being Accounted as Righteous Through Faith (5:1-11). Paul now outlines some of the consequences of our being ‘accounted as righteous’ through faith. These he represents as follows: 1) We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1). 2) We have access by faith into the grace in which we now stand (Romans 5:2). 3) We rejoice in the hope of the glory of God (Romans 5:2). 4) We rejoice in tribulation because of what we know it will work within us... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 5:1-21

Salvation To The Uttermost (5:1-8:39). The depths of our sin having been revealed in Romans 1:17 to Romans 3:23, and Jesus Christ’s activity, (His activity in bringing about our salvation through the cross by means of the reckoning to us of His righteousness by faith), having been made known in Romans 3:24 to Romans 4:25, Paul now sets about demonstrating the consequences of this for all true believers (Romans 5:1 to Romans 8:39). He wants us immediately to recognise that being ‘accounted as... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 5:8

‘But God commends his own love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners, for us Christ died.’ ‘Being accounted as righteous’ has resulted from the grace and love of God (Romans 3:24), and we now learn that that love was ‘commended’ towards us by God (drawn vividly to our attention) in that while we were yet sinners ‘for us Christ died’. Note that it is God’s love that is commended, and that it is revealed in Christ’s death for us. In the Godhead all are as One. This verse is drawing... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 5:6-11

Romans 5:6-1 Kings : . Love and Reconciliation. Romans 5:6-Ruth : . The helplessness and ill-desert of the objects, and the timeliness of the intervention, go to “ commend God’ s love to us, shown in the death of Christ on our behalf”— a sacrifice enhanced when one considers that “ a righteous man” will “ scarcely “ find another to “ die for him,” though “ it may happen” that a friend “ ventures his life for the good man” (known and loved as such).— God’ s and Christ’ s love are identified... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Romans 5:8

God commendeth his love toward us; i.e. he declareth or confirmeth it by this, as a most certain sign, he makes it most conspicuous or illustrious: see John 3:16; 1 John 4:9,1 John 4:10. In that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us; i.e. in a state of sin, and under the guilt and power of sin. Believers in some sense are still sinners, 1 John 1:8, but their sins being pardoned and subdued, they go no longer under that denomination. Sinners in Scripture are said to be those in whom sin... read more

CRITICAL NOTESRomans 5:7. Righteous and good.—That is, the one righteous; the other good, merciful, benevolent.Romans 5:8.—Christ’s death a vicarious death, but not necessarily expressed by the preposition here used. Divine love compared with human. The latter infinitely below the former.MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Romans 5:7-8Incomparable love.—Of one of the daughters of our Queen it was said that she shed sunshine wherever she went.

Sermon Bible Commentary - Romans 5:1-11

Romans 5:1-11 Immediate Results of Justification. To be acquitted of guilt through the death of Jesus is the most elementary blessing which the gospel brings to our condemned race, shut up in its prison-house of wrath. But it cannot come alone. It opens a door of hope through which each reconciled sinner may look forward unto a new world of lovely blessings following in its train. Hope is the keyword of this section, therefore exultant hope of future glory; and the three ideas which... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Romans 5:7-8

Romans 5:7-8 God's Love Magnified in Christ's Death. I. In considering how God appointed our Lord and Saviour to suffering and death as the most perfect proof of obedience, it seems necessary to begin by removing a difficulty which will certainly occur to every one: that is, that the death of the Saviour seems by no means so obvious an evidence of the love of God, His and our heavenly Father, as of the Saviour's own love to His brethren; and that it is only, as it were, on the ground of His... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Romans 5:8

Romans 5:8 What Proves God's Love? I. It is a strange thing that the love of God needs to be either proved or pressed upon men. (1) There never was, there is not, any religion untouched by Christianity that has any firm grip of the truth "God is love." (2) Even among ourselves and other people that have drunk in some form of Christianity with their mother's milk, it is the hardest possible thing even for men who do accept that gospel in their hearts to keep themselves up to the level of that... read more
